Abbey Gates Primary School

Abbey Gates PTA

What do we do?
We help raise funds for the school through a variety of activities and events e.g Summer Fayre, Ladies Night, Race Night, School Disco.

What are the funds used for?
As many “extras” as we can possibly manage! Laptops, Playground markings and equipment are just a few examples. Our fundraising provides crucial financial support for many of the fun activities the children enjoy.

Who are we?
Parents/carers/grandparents with children at the school along with members of staff. Everyone is welcome.

How often do we meet?
Usually twice a term on a Wednesday evening at school. More frequently to co-ordinate events eg Summer & Christmas.

How committed do I have to be?
There is no obligation to attend every meeting or event. Meetings are very informal and usually combine biscuits with a cup of tea, bit of a giggle and helping the school and our children at the same time – great excuse to get together with like-minded people!

Do I need any special skills?
Absolutely not! The important thing is willingness to be involved and lend a hand when necessary. Many of the things we do like fundraising or wrapping up Christmas presents, just require a bit of time – the more helpers the lighter the load for all!!

How do I join?
Please contact either Kate Cumberpath orSamantha Vaughan through the school office or just come along to one of our meetings.  The dates are displayed in each class window. We'd love to see you there!
